I wonder how the constructivist/emotivist dichotomy comes into play here.

I can't think of any but when I was younger, I'd rewatch the shit out of movies we rented since we didn't have cable at that time. Now that I'm older, I am less prone to rewatching or rereading something more than once (Hell, I don't even like watching a movie with someone who has already seen it even if I haven't). Exceptions is when I remember enjoying something and think the story is rich enough for me to get something new out of it by watching it again. This is usually with more complex series/movies (whether emotionally, psychologically or philosophically). I'll also reread or rewatch something if it's been awhile and/or I likely forgot the events. I've occasionally restarted series I haven't seen in a while from the beginning if I never completed them and not too sure of what's going on or think I'd get more out of it that way. Did that with Stephen King's "On Writing" book and a manga called Vagabond.

That was the same with my family when I was younger. I have seen so many movies a multitude of times due to the lack of cable and my mother's obsession with visual entertainment and escapism. I generally do not enjoy rereading books or rewatching movies either, I think part of this dislike comes from being forced to when I was younger. I want the freedom to decide what I rewatch/reread. That being said, I can still watch There Will Be Blood over and over again because I truly enjoy the movie as a whole and not because I have no choice. When it comes to books, I absolutely will not reread it unless years have passed between the last read; even if I truly enjoyed it.

There are too many movies to name. I've seen dozens of movies over a half a dozen times.

It's kind of embarrassing when I think about how much time I've spent watching them.

City of God
Antichrist
Fargo
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
A Clockwork Orange
Closer
Taxi Driver
Trainspotting
Requiem for a Dream
Nostalgia
The Shining
Amores Perros
Before Sunset

I'm not sure what movie it's from. I retrieved it from Mark Ruffalo's tumblr. But it's so amusing, I can't stop watching it.

[chriscorey]

First time for me.

[chriscorey]

I love film. In this scene the "Joker" tells the audience yet another story of how he got his scars. What's the real story? There's some mystery there.

[Socionics Is A Cult]

@Agni no Solaris?

Three of Huang's dogs died today.
I know they're not worthy of you.
I was going to lead our brothers,
engage Huang in a deadly duel,
and avenge your death.
But I've changed my mind.
I can't take revenge this way.
i can't risk more lives.
Chief, we're looking for you.
Why did you signal retreat?
Huang heard your whistling.
I knew that I was safe.
Leave, I want to spend time alone with Six.
It has finally dawned on me,
why i became a bandit in the first place.
i was no match for these people.
But I must take them on at their own game now,
and to win for you.

I strongly enjoy characters more than anything in a story. And in these movies that I have and always will enjoy, they hold strong characters in a way that I absolutely love. I never get tired of them for that.
